Kelly Dixon is with Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse. She says at her hospital, flu cases are up as are hospitalizations. Same story at Gunderson Health System. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now calling the number of flu cases nationwide an epidemic. Last month, the CDC reported that this year’s vaccine may not provide protection from the most common strain of the flu.
